Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a system for growing plants in both exterior and interior areas on any spatial shape that can be planted with different types of plants.

Background Art

The exterior and interior decoration of plants is usually done by using flowers placed in vases, bowls, boxes or pots, in addition to the outdoor beds. If it is necessary to create a decoration in space, they use sc curtains, holders or shelves that hold individual containers of flowers. As a rule, continuous green areas are realized by plants placed in the soil layer in a horizontal plane or vertically by climbing plants growing upwards or hanging down from the vessels.

Often, however, it is necessary to decorate with any plants in the exterior and interior on vertical, oblique or differently shaped surfaces, without the need for watering into individual containers.

In some applications, it would also be desirable to improve the thermal insulation and noise insulation properties of green areas.

It would also be advantageous for the flower area to be easily replaced.

The essence of the technical solution

These drawbacks are largely eliminated by the system according to the present invention, which makes it possible to grow plants on an area of any shape, such as a vertical surface, without frequent and regular care. This system allows the use of different plant combinations for indoor or outdoor use. The advantage is also the easy possibility of changing plants, even all at once, and shorter growing length than climbing plants. Other non-aesthetic advantages include dust absorption, oxygen formation, and thermal insulation and noise insulation. Possible lighting allows the system to be placed in darker places.

The technical solution is a system for planting plants on an area of any spatial shape, which consists of a supporting structure defining the shape of the surface on which a flat substrate for planting plants is fixed on at least one side and a supporting structure to which the supporting structure is fixed by means of brackets. The shape of the supporting structure thus determines the shape of the substrate and thus the shape of the planted area.

The area of any spatial shape is understood to mean, in particular, the shapes of the supporting structure as a planar, cylindrical, pyramidal, conical, staircase, spherical canopy shape, as well as completely general spatial shapes as needed. In addition, these shapes may have different configurations in space, for example, the plane may be vertical, horizontal, oblique, and the like.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is a system in which the support structure and the support structure are arranged vertically. Such a solution, for example, is a vertical column that includes a cylindrical support structure and a cylindrical support structure therein.

The most preferred embodiment of the invention is a system in which the supporting structure and the supporting structure are planar in shape, parallel to each other and arranged in space.

4o vertically or diagonally.

The supporting structure is preferably formed as a lattice, grate or net, of any sufficiently rigid and water-resistant material such as plastic, metal, metal coated with plastic, wood, preferably rot-proof, and the like.

By water is meant not only pure tap water or surface or rain water, but also a hydropolymeric solution usable in a recycling system.

A substrate is mounted on the support structure to retain the root of the plants and their growth, preferably retaining the water. In one embodiment, it consists of a synthetic nonwoven and other fibrous materials, foam such as PUR foam, synthetic felt, mineral wool, or other substantially sheet material comprising cavities or pores, optionally suitably impregnated, for example, to achieve stiffness, hydrophilicity, or rot resistance. The attachment of the substrate to the support structure can be accomplished by gluing, hooks, lashing, clamps of metal or plastic, and the like. Preferably, the substrate is mounted substantially on the entire surface of the support structure.

The flat plant growing substrate may be attached to the support structure defining the surface shape from one side or preferably from both sides.

The plants are kept on the substrate, especially in front of rooting, for example, cut substrate pieces of a size suitable for capturing the plant to be attached, or by inserting the bottom of the plant into an opening in the substrate layer by adhering to the substrate or by sowing the seeds on the substrate where they stick to the germs themselves using their cornets.

A further embodiment of the invention is a system in which the supporting structure is formed as a frame to which a supporting structure is fixed on the edges, for example vertical. Such an embodiment allows the plants to be grown on both sides of the flat substrate. The fastening of the supporting structure to the frame is designed according to the size of the system sufficiently strong to maintain the weight of the substrate, the supporting structure, the water soaked in the substrate and the plant. The frame can be steel and can be mounted on the wall or can be provided with uprights for standing the frame on the ground in a vertical position.

In a further embodiment, a plate, preferably planar, is mounted to the frame, in particular of plastic such as PVC, or a combination of material layers. This plate can provide waterproofing for example at the house wall and / or can have improved thermal insulation and noise insulation properties.

The support structure may be mounted on the frame and / or on the support structure plate suitably by means of brackets determining the distance of the frame and / or plate from the support structure. The brackets may be of the same length, but may be of different lengths in planar plate and / or frame and non-planar support structures.

Another embodiment of the invention is a system in which the support structure is fixed to the supporting structure by means of brackets as dismountable. This can be realized, for example, as a U-shaped bracket at one end, in which the supporting structure engages and is secured with a cotter pin. For example, the supporting structure with substrate and plants can be removed and replaced by another after the season.

Another embodiment of the invention is a system that includes a water irrigation device formed by a water container adapted to receive water that flows from a substrate, a pump sucking water from said container, and an irrigation pipe to feed water to at least one location at the top of the substrate, such as a tube with openings along the top of the substrate.

Another embodiment of the invention is a system comprising a watering device formed by a water container adapted to collect water that flows from a substrate, a pump sucking water from the container, and a spraying device to spray at least a portion of the substrate with water.

The pump can be immersed in a water tank. It can be controlled by a timer or depending on the substrate moisture.

However, it is possible to water the system by spraying with a garden hose or a combination with rainfall.

Another embodiment of the invention is a system that includes a support structure lighting.
